Chapter 4: Sharpening the Gun in Battle
Pei Zheng walked out of the guard's mansion, looking at the gloomy sky, his mood was slightly depressed, if there was a choice, he actually didn't want to exchange his life for his future.
After all, the future can be earned slowly, and the life is really gone.
But words such as "the official level crushed people to death", "disobeying military orders and being sentenced to death", "money and debts are easy to repay, but human debts are difficult to repay" and other words have always appeared in his mind.
Even the recommendation letter of the martial arts academy that has just arrived doesn't seem to be so fragrant.
If the person is gone, this letter of recommendation will be like a little wife, and it will return to the family.
Phew, I'm the protagonist of Destiny...... 's younger brother, just lead the way, and don't necessarily die, so why be pessimistic?
However, there is no shortage of preparations.
Thinking about it, Lin Ze turned to the warehouse behind the guard's mansion and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master Zhang, open the door, the kid has come to see you." ”
"Bang Dang"
An old man with gray hair and a thin and weak look opened the door and looked at Pei Zheng with a sneer: "Call Old Man Zhang when you are fine, and call Master Zhang when you have something, do you think the old man eats you?"
"Let's go, the old man is unwell today, so he will not be accepted. ”
Pei Zheng replied with a sneer: "Don't accept it, then you pay me back the silver, thirty-five taels of principal, seven taels of interest, not a cent less." ”
Old man Zhang suddenly changed color, changed to a smiling face and said: "Yo, it turned out to be Brother Pei, who does the little old man think, those who don't accept it are outsiders, can Brother Pei not accept it?"
"Come on, come in, it's windy outside, don't freeze. ”
That enthusiasm is like a turtle in a hook.
Pei Zheng's expression returned to normal, and he swaggered into the warehouse.
Fortunately, it is the uncle who asks for debts in Daxia, and Pei Zheng has the confidence to be arrogant in front of Old Man Zhang, if it is Pei Zheng's previous life, it is the uncle who owes money, and I don't know who flatters whom.
Old man Zhang led Pei Zheng into the courtyard, looked over, saw that there was no one around, closed the door tightly, and asked with a smile: "Brother Pei came to find the little old man, what's the matter?"
Pei Zheng walked into the lobby, found a chair to sit down, and said leisurely: "Old rule, do you have good things in your hands? Take it out and take a look." ”
Old man Zhang frowned, and said with a puzzled expression: "It's only the beginning of the month today, so logically speaking, there should be a lot of resources left in exchange for the end of last month, right?"
Pei Zheng sighed and said: "Alas, Zhang Ye doesn't know, just now, the general arranged a messenger for me to die, don't you want to change more good things to save your life?"
Old man Zhang exclaimed: "On such a cold day, arrange an envoy who lives for nine deaths? Is the general crazy, or is your kid offended him?"
Pei Zheng shook his head: "It's not, don't mention it, it's hard to explain this matter." ”
Old man Zhang touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "No, you kid is very clever, how can you die so easily? The general handed over such an important task to you, and it was relying on you." ”
"Jiren has his own natural appearance, you kid can rest assured, the little old man believes that you will be able to come back alive. ”
Pei Cheng said with a strange look: "You said it so easily, I wonder if you think that if I die outside, you won't have to pay back." ”
Old man Zhang's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been greatly humiliated, and said excitedly: "Brother Pei, I watched you grow up, in your eyes, does my old man Zhang look like this kind of villain?"
When you owe money and don't pay it back, it's very much like that.
Pei Zheng silently complained in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't get excited, in my heart, you are righteous and wealthy, and you are an out-and-out good person." ”
Old man Zhang snorted coldly: "It's pretty much the same." ”
Pei Zheng smiled and said, "So Zhang Da is a good person, hurry up and take out all your treasures, and let me pick a few to take away." ”
"What kind of food does Brother Pei want?"
"High-grade elixirs, hidden weapons, strong crossbows, poisons and other sharp weapons that kill people beyond the ranks, take a look, it is a matter of life, no matter how careful you are. ”
Old man Zhang looked puzzled: "What Brother Pei said is that these are things that are strictly controlled in the army, although the little old man is in charge of the treasury, he is not so bold to embezzle them privately." ”
Pei Zheng sighed and said, "That silver ......"
Old man Zhang said with a straight face: "Give the little old man three days, and the principal will be forty-two taels of silver with interest, and the little old man will pay you back a lot." ”
Pei Zheng shook his head: "You always misunderstood, the kid said that the interest doesn't have to be repaid." ”
Old man Zhang's expression moved, and he scratched his gray hair: "You can't afford to buy a few high-grade pills, and Xin'an City won't be unable to operate because there are a few missing, and it doesn't hurt to move a few to save your life." ”
"But the crossbow poison and hidden weapons are all for the record, if someone finds out that something is lost, and it is investigated, the little old man can't afford it." ”
Pei Zheng smiled softly and said: "The kid suddenly remembered that there were two good flower carvings in the barracks, it seemed that it was the filial piety given by the caravan last year, the kid usually didn't have much chance to drink, and he had been put there for more than a year, why don't you send it over?"
"Gollum"
Old man Zhang couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Brother Pei, you wait, the little old man will go and get you something." ”
After speaking, he jumped out of the lobby like a rabbit and ran to the warehouse.
Pei Zheng watched Old Man Zhang leave with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiaoxiao, the master can't cure you?
About half an hour later, Old Man Zhang dragged a small cart to Pei Zheng and took out three porcelain bottles from the cart first.
"Tiger Bone Pill, with tiger bone as the main material, added to the thirty-three flavors of tonic refining, ordinary people take three, you can quench the bones of the whole body once, as a price of thirty taels of silver. ”
"Jiaojin Dan, made of the long tendons in the body of the alien beast Hanjiao, ordinary people take one, which can quench the fascia of the whole body into one, and the price is one hundred taels of silver. ”
"The Blood Carving Pill is made of the blood of the Desert Golden Eagle, and if ordinary people take one, it will last for an hour and the blood will boil, during this period, the speed of removing blood impurities in the body will increase by more than ten times, and the price will be three hundred taels. ”
"Brother Pei, these three are the top-grade pills corresponding to the Forging Bone Realm, the Yi Tendon Realm, and the Blood Exchange Realm, which one do you want?"
Pei Zheng looked at the porcelain bottle containing the blood carving pill, the corners of his mouth twitched, three hundred and two pieces, it's terrible.
As a team leader, his monthly salary is only three taels of silver, plus rewards and gains, it will not exceed fifty taels a normal year, and it takes six years to save without eating or drinking to afford one, which is almost catching up with the housing prices in the previous life.
"Twenty-two tiger bone pills, I want ten. ”
"Twenty-two one?"
Old man Zhang looked stunned, suspecting that he had misheard.
"Twenty-two little old man's coffins have to be compensated, this price is too low to sell. ”
After that, it is necessary to put the porcelain vase back into the trolley.
Pei Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a serious face: "Twenty taels and one, you don't have to pay back the silver you owe." ”
Old man Zhang hesitated: "This ......"
"No, forget it, your veteran will return the silver to me, and I'll go to the quartermaster office to exchange for an ordinary bone forging pill. ”
Old man Zhang pretended to be reluctant and said: "Oh, you kid will take advantage of it, but who will let the little old man look at you kid pleasing to the eye? Twenty-one taels are sold to you, and I will go and get you ten." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Pei Zheng to respond, Old Man Zhang put down the porcelain bottle containing the Tiger Bone Pill and trotted away with the other two pills.
Seeing this, Pei Zheng only had one thought left in his, it's expensive to buy.
Immediately, Pei Zheng was a little relieved, at the price of twenty taels, Old Man Zhang might make some money, but he would definitely not be able to buy it from others.
Although Old Man Zhang is a gambler and addicted to alcohol, and often plays a scoundrel and does not pay back the money, he is fair in business.
Otherwise, Pei Zheng would not have left the Quartermaster Department on the right path and came to him privately.
After a while, Old Man Zhang placed three porcelain bottles in front of Pei Zheng: "There are three bottles here, plus that one is exactly ten, two hundred taels, bring them." ”
Pei Zheng took out two silver tickets and a bag of broken silver from his arms, and said with a painful face: "These two silver tickets of Huibao Qianzhuang, one with a face of one hundred, one with a face of fifty, plus fifty taels of broken silver, you can put it away." ”
Old man Zhang counted twice before nodding with a smile: "That's right, two hundred taels, one point is not a lot." Take a look at these hidden poisons, are you satisfied?"
Pei Zheng carefully took the Tiger Bone Pill into his arms and asked, "What's good?"
Old man Zhang said proudly: "This is a lot, the poison is the acacia that seals the throat with blood, the mandala that kills people in the invisible broken soul, the mandala that temporarily abolishes the martial arts, and the sunflower that can make people not fall down." ”
Three black lines appeared on Pei Zheng's forehead: "If the golden gun doesn't fall, it's also poison?"
Old man Zhang replied confidently: "When you are burning with desire, can you still calm down and fight with others?"
A look of clarity appeared on Pei Zheng's face: "That's the same, what about the secret weapon?"
Old man Zhang took the trouble to say: "There are many kinds of hidden weapons, and the most popular of them is the unguardable rainstorm pear flower needle. ”
"The rainstorm pear flower needle is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the lower grade can kill the three realms of the body, and the middle grade can kill the three realms of qi training, as for the upper grade, it is said that even the realm of refining gods cannot be avoided. ”
"The little old man has exactly two medium-grade pieces in his hand, one is priced at three hundred and fifty taels, do you want it?"
Three hundred and fifty two pieces, why don't you grab it?
The family was poor and said goodbye.
Pei Zheng complained silently, and waved his big hand: "Wrap it all up, I'll pick it up later." ”
Old man Zhang was surprised and said: "Wrap it all up?" Brother Pei thought carefully, it all adds up to almost a thousand taels, even if the little old man makes a discount for you, it will not be less than eight hundred taels. It's not that the little old man looks down on you, do you have so much silver?"
"Could it be that Brother Pei has made a fortune?"
Pei Zheng sneered: "I didn't think about spending money to buy these things at all, isn't it cool to be a prostitute in vain?"
Old man Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly protected the car in his arms: "Is it possible that you kid want to rob it?"
Pei Zheng glanced at him and said, "What do you think, I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to rob the army's supplies?"
"Have you always forgotten something, my mission this time was arranged by the general, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, is the general embarrassed to let me buy these things out of his own pocket?"
"You wait for me to report this matter to the general, and wait for the general to make the next paperwork, keep half a penny of silver and take things away. ”
Old man Zhang was speechless for a long time, and said coldly: "So except for the pill, you didn't think about buying other things from the beginning, but you just wanted to get to the bottom of the little old man, so that it would be convenient for you to prostitute for nothing?"
Pei Zheng smiled brightly: "You are so smart." ”
"Roll~"
......
After a while, Pei Zheng left the warehouse in embarrassment and muttered, "You are still so angry when you are old, be careful of high blood pressure." ”
